ASHLAND, VA - Behind a career-high 18 points from Calvin Croskey, No. 17 Randolph-Macon knocked off ODAC rival Bridgewater 77-69 Wednesday night in men's basketball action.  R-MC is now 18-4 overall and 9-4 in league play.  BC falls to 9-11 and 6-7 in the ODAC.

Croskey was joined in double-digits by Brandon Braxton who had 16 points and Eric Pugh with 10.   Kevin Voelkel grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds, while Croskey nabbed eight caroms and Thomas Scheeler grabbed six, to help R-MC to a 41-26 edge on the glass.  The Jackets shot 27-of-55 from the field for a 49.1% clip for the evening.   

BC was led by Dominic Trawick's game-high 28 points.  Jake Johnson added 16 for BC, while Cody Giffith had 10 off the bench.    Bridgewater shot 45% for the game, making 27-of-60 shots from the floor.

With BC up 24-23 with six minutes remaining in the first-half, R-MC went on a 19-1 run over the next five and a half minutes, taking at  42-25 lead on a Braxton bucket.   

A Trawick three-pointer with  just over a minute to go and a Johnson layup with 16 seconds remaining in the first stanza, sent the teams to the locker room with Randolph-Macon up 45-33.

Back-to-back buckets by BC to start the second-half cut the R-MC lead to 45-37, before R-MC went on a 9-1 run, capped by a Scheeler three-pointer that made the score 54-38 with 13:38 to go in the game.

BC chipped away and a pair of free-throws by Trawick with just over five minutes to go in the game made the score 64-58. That would be as close as the Eagles would get as R-MC reeled off 11 of the next 14 points to seal the win.

Randolph-Macon will return to action on Saturday when it travels to No. 5 Virginia Wesleyan for a 2:00 p.m. ODAC game.
